Garrett never thought his journey would take him to brewing beer. From living in Vermont and working as a school counselor to teaching Spanish, Garrett and his self-proclaimed “drinking buddies”, Scott and Marcus, decided to take their love of beer to a new height- opening up a brewery. In an old restaurant space on Governor Lane, Cushwa Brewing resides. With various Pilsners, Ales, Stouts and IPA’s on tap, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Sit back, relax and grab a pint (or two) of Cushwa’s finest beers and listen to this week’s podcast to hear more about Garrett and his story.

More From Cushwa Brewing

Our Name

We often get the question “Where does the name Cushwa come from?”

Well, the name Cushwa comes from the the Cushwa Basin located in Williamsport, MD. When the C&O Canal was built, canal boats would turn around at the basin. The C&O Canal Towpath is about 187 miles long and the Basin sits at about mile marker 100. It’s not exactly halfway but it sounds like a good place to turn around.

Our Mission

Exceptional Beer. Positive Impact. Respect.

With our personalities and interests being different, each of us brings a different level of expertise to this wild but exciting endeavor.

In spite of our differences, we come together with similar values expressed in the mission statement. We aim to provide the best product possible, while having a positive impact in our communities, and respecting every aspect of the business.
